The City of Enumclaw and 4Culture of King County are pleased to present new work by Mary J McInnis. Mary showed her work in the gallery in 2000, Hard to believe eighteen years have passed so quickly. Mary J McInnis is a Washington native. Mary graduated with a BFA in Painting from the University of Washington. Her colors are a result of the influence of New York artist Wolf Kahn with whom she studied in Santa Fe, New Mexico. An award-winning artist, she exhibits in regional and national shows.

It’s interesting to hear about and see the changes an artist makes over a span of time. Mary’s J McInnis continues to do great work you’ll want to see.

Mary J McInnis Artist Statement

I attended several different institutions of higher learning before and after marriage including Seattle Central Community College, Denver Community College, University of Texas at Arlington, culminating in a BFA in Painting at the University of Washington in 1987 where I discovered the joys of pastel painting. Having two children created a need to put away the oils and concentrate on pastels. In 2008, I returned to oil painting and now divide my time between the two mediums, with occasional forays into mixed media. I have recently increased my time at plein air painting in oils, and occasionally give pastel demonstrations for various art groups around the Puget Sound region. I am a signature member of the Northwest Pastel Society, and a member of Peninsula Art League and Plein Air Washington. For the past 25 years I have lived in Port Orchard WA, across the water from my childhood home, with my husband of 35 years.
